you're like a ghost
you best be paying attention
are you listening?
can you hear me?
are you tuned in?
are you listening?

you look the same
no one knows anyway

but i sold you so well

i got a sickness that don't fade
and it's keeping me awake

but i sold you so well

i'm not so good at this, i know
i'm not so good with words
i just need to learn to say, "no."
i just want to be alone

but i sold you so well

fate, drive your car by my house
every now and then
fill my body with doubt
every now and again
god can't help me now
he couldn't help me then
this is what it's all about
the futility of men

Drive Your Car

i don't know if i wanna be more than this
'cause i know it's complicated as is
we can sit here and say what we need
but it doesn't change a thing
you can be alone or you can be with me
but it doesn't change a thing

i don't know if i'm gonna be more than this
'cause i know i can't tell what it's gonna be then
i can kneel down and say what i need
but it doesn't change a thing
you can take the throne or you can try to be free
but it doesn't change a thing

you can grab onto branches to pull you free
but you'll never know the truth of what could be
i saw you throw your crown into the sea
then comes dissolution: dissolving me

i can keep trying to be someone new
but i know there's nothing left i can do
i can keep the faith and do what i can
but it doesn't change a thing
i can wear the armour and reach for your hand
but it doesn't change a thing

you can grab onto branches to pull you free
but you'll never know the truth of what could be
i saw you throw your crown into the sea
then comes dissolution: dissolving me

ten thousand swords can't take me back
i can't fill the void of what you lack
i can't kill the dragon that you sent
i can't keep my feet from sinking in
it's the hall of love
it's the hell of us

Ten Thousand Swords

the door opens while I sleep 
it's a presence I cannot see 

there is static in the screen 
there's a voice here haunting me 
and I know that it's here to be: 
constant reminder of what I cannot see 

there's not much here that I can know 
so I shut my mouth and we're good to go 
and on the way back to Toronto 
the voice is quiet and the car is slow 

the door opens while I sleep 
it's a presence I cannot see 
there's the ghost of everybody! 
and I was too late for apologies 

there's not much here that I can know 
the river's swiftest where it's shallow 
and there's a sad song on the radio 
so throw it in and drown your sorrows!

TEN THOUSAND SWORDS EP

in the dead of night
you're spinning on the same old wheel
when you fall, you die
you are not made of steel
when you grasp, you go
when you ran, you rose
when we fall, we die
we are not made of gold

in the morning sun
I make the bed on which i lie
when the day is done
it's not enough to satisfy
when I bet, I fold
when i ran, i rose
when we fall, we die
we are not made of gold

in the evening cold
you ask politely where I've been
and it's getting old
finding brand new ways to sin
when i lie, you know
when we ran, we rose
when we fall, we die
we are not made of gold

i feel adamantine with my hands between
it hits me
are we wiping this clean or fleeing the scene?
you with me?

you with me?

Gold / Adamantine

maybe i'm just low on blood
but this ain't what i've been dreaming of
maybe i'm just stuck on you
but this ain't what i wanted to do

i've never been in such a cold house in my life
and i've gone north and north in search of light

maybe i'm just at a loss
this is a river i never wanted to cross
maybe i'm just out of tune
when i was younger, i wanted to spend my life with you

i've never been in such a cold house in my life
and i've gone north and north in search of light

i used to picture where we'd live and what we'd do
but i think that i lost my value
i used to dream of moving far away with you
but i stopped dreaming it and you did too

i've never been in such a cold house in my life
and i've gone north and north in search of light

maybe i'm just low on blood
but this ain't what i've been dreaming of
maybe i'm just stuck on you
i wanted you to be stuck on me too

Blood

saw the moon and now it’s forever
and nothing was the same
it was new years’ eve
it was like a fever dream
oh no

when the past comes home to haunt you
honey, you gotta let go
there’s a hole in the earth
that’s where we keep our sorrows

did something cruel and now it’s forever
and nothing is the same
st-jean baptiste
ça me rend bien triste
oh no

when the past comes home to haunt you
honey, you gotta let go
there’s a hole in the earth
that’s where we keep our sorrows

vous devez laisser aller, laissez faire
vous devez commencer á tenter a votre proper vie
hey honey, don’t you see?

when the past comes home to haunt you
honey, you gotta let go
there’s a hole in the earth
that’s where we keep our sorrows

UNTITLED

The Past And The Moon

there are things i wanna say
very softly, very faint
if you'd just lean in, i can get to it
there are things i wanna say

you seemed brighter than the moon
hide my body in the room
leave no trace here; make no sound
you seemed brighter than the moon
but that was before i knew you

there are things i wanna say
very softly, very faint
if you'd just lean in, i can get to it
there are things i wanna say

i'd set my body on fire
to keep it away from prying eyes
i'd hide myself in the mouth of the sea
so you would drown if you reached for me

chorus

2017 demos

that was before (demo)

from Toronto. sometimes i am antisocial so i make music by myself in my room to calm my delicate canadian soul
